Yeah he is a loosehead. I actually did not know he has a background in English rugby. Learn something every day don't ya

Has been in good form for the Tigers this year, great to see him get a contract. His work rate for a big fella is very good

Definatly Higginbotham on the bench in that case.

Ugh I'm sorry All Blacks, England has replaced you as my most hated side. I just find this as a stupid PR stunt, which has unfourtunatley worked! Actually, I take that back, England was already my most hated.

Personally I'd rather NOT see Hosea Gear play. He is alot more dangerous than Jane and Guildford. Plus Jane has had a very average year (apart from last week).

Morahan, Dennis and Mumm will all play in this match you'd assume.

I would prefer Robinson to Hodgson if Deans was looking at a specialist 7 cover. But I agree that with Pocock an 80 minute player, why have someone on the bench as an injury cover? But then again, how likely is Deans to take off Elsom as well? I have the feeling that who ever gets that 5th...

Horwill seems to be the ball-running lock in the current combination and he does a very good job of it. And thats why I think that Sharpe has been on the outer, because Simmons and Vickerman offer alot more breakdown efficiency, whilst Sharpe specializes in ball carries, which is not what the...

I'm very annoyed Beau Robbinson has been overlooked for the bench again. I do rate Hodgson as a player, but he has nowhere near the same impact and mongrel Beau does. With Higginbotham on the bench aswell, I can't see why Hodgsons versatility has gotten him the selection, as some people are...

For the side we have I think Fainga'a is the most suitable option. It is unlikely that Deans will take off O'Connor, Ioane or Beale, so having Fainga'a on the bench means he can slot into the centers (assuming he replaces McCabe) without any re-shuffle occuring.

Surley Sharpe has not fallen behind Timani, I find that a hard one to grasp.

Couple of years back when playing schoolboys, we played a Kiwi 1st side in a pre-season tournment style thing. They performed the haka about 2cm infront of our faces, and boy was it good. But as it's only schoolboys, not much respect was given by either side during the ritual.

Was at the Easts vs Norths game unfourtunatly. The Tigers injury toll is really starting to show, breakdown was poor, defensive structure and line-speed was horrible and without Matt Brandon, there was no attacking direction whatsoever. To make matters worse, Chris Mansell, Toby White and David...

He's got a point. NH sides play double what we do, admittedly they often rotate their larger squads, but still.

The small amount of fuel in my car has made the decision for me, down the road to Easts it is. Easts should get up relatively easily in this one, despite the injuries. Norths are really struggling, plus White, Krelle and Tupou are back for the Tigers.

UQ will have Giteau, Lance, Porter (Samoan WC squad), Morahan, Davies, Hanson, Shepherdson, Prior. Whilst the filth will have Chambers, Shipperely and Murphy. Fuck really thinking of going to watch this instead of Easts vs Norths

Juan Martin Hernandez is unlikely to play, he has had bad injury problems.

I think it's actually a Barbarians side, not an A team.

And again we are talking about picking players on the bench just to cover injuries. If Tatafu is the best hooker you pick him, simple. Best players start, the next best on the bench.
